Listen "Entertainment Attorney Britton Payne"
Episode Synopsis
I chat with Entertainment Attorney and Director of The Autism Scene, host of the AuSPEC Awards, Britton Payne. We talk about his history working as "Superman's Lawyer" at DC Comics (including an amazing perk) as well as Warner Brothers and Nickelodeon and how different studios have different approaches to animation lawyers. Plus he talks about how he started The Autism Scene and the AuSPEC Awards as a way to encourage more autistic characters in popular animation, to both boost exposure for those on the autism spectrum and to normalize autism for others. In our "Back in Time" segment, we talk about how he actually started on the creative side, working as a writer/director, before going to law school and merging his two passions. Plus, as always, great advice, this time on how to start a career as an entertainment attorney by standing out and making connections.
